Technology Grant Results for 2013-2014

The following schools have been granted projectors through the early 2013-2014 technology grant. We ran this early this year as the 2013-2014 tech grant budget will be completely spent on year 4 of the desktop replacement cycle due to a larger number of computers in year 4. Every school that requested a projector for a classroom has received at least 1.

Baldonnel – 1
Buick – 2
CM Finch – 2
Charlie Lake – 3
Duncan Cran – 2
Ecole Central – 2
Hudson’s Hope – 2
Robert Ogilvie – 2
Taylor – 1
Upper Halfway – 2
NPSS – 1

Site Technicians will get in contact with school administrators as to the administrators plan for these projectors.

If the projectors

  • are going on a cart, TS will supply a lock and cable along with the asset tagged projector to the site administrator. We can help with setup if desired. The school needs to provide the cart.
  • are going to be mounted the administrator is responsible for putting in tickets for the mount to labourers and grounds, and the electrical install to the electrician. A third ticket should go to the site technician that has the ticket numbers for the first two referenced in the ticket please and thank you.

This will be the last grant that will feature projectors. Many sites are reporting that they do not need any additional projectors or have a sufficiently large number. Schools may purchase projectors out of their Learning Resource budgets as per policy and several PACs have outfitted classrooms with projectors. Schools are also reminded that they should plan for the replacement of their current projectors going into the future.

The next grant may be available at the end of the 2013-2014 year depending on budget. If not it will come out in the late summer or early fall of 2014-2015.
